Fierce Raged The Tempest O'Er The Deep

Fierce raged the tempest oer the deep, Watch did Thine anxious servants keep But Thou wast wrapped in guileless sleep, Calm and still.

Save, Lord, we perish, was their cry, O save us in our agony! Thy word above the storm rose high, Peace, be still.

The wild winds hushed; the angry deep Sank, like a little child, to sleep; The sullen billows ceased to leap, At Thy will.

So, when our life is clouded oer, And storm winds drift us from the shore, Say, lest we sink to rise no more, Peace, be still.
